Last year, I told God that I needed some help getting my body back in order. It was time
to leave my couch potato days behind and live the life God intended. He answered my
prayers and sent me Joy Deliverance of Body Integrity Fitness, LLC. I know it was God
because it has been nothing but breakthrough after breakthrough ever since. Joy’s
training style is unlike any trainer I’ve had in the past. She’s very caring and realistic
which is perfect for me because normally I would have quit by now. Because of that, I
have been more honest with myself, wanted more for myself, and fought through in
spite of myself.

The workouts are challenging. Yet sometimes seemingly impossible,
but her coaching builds confidence and makes me reach my goal. I don’t feel
“pressured” to do any exercises because I actually WANT to do better even if I may feel
intimidated at first. When I first started training, I could barely do one push up. I was
weak. My body was always achy and range of motion was limited and painful. Now, I’m
losing weight, gaining strength, and more importantly growing in confidence. I recently
walked my first 5k and Joy was right there with me as I crossed the finish line! It was
such a triumphant moment for me because it was an official mark on my road of
physical fitness. This time is different. I’ve stayed the course because I know God is with
me. I’m going to continue this journey and fight the good fight of faith as I restore my
mind, body, and spirit.
